- Huntingdon_Beaumont abstract "Huntingdon Beaumont (c. 1560 – 1624) was an innovative entrepreneur in coal mining who built what is currently credited as the world's first wagonway. He was less successful as a businessman and died having been imprisoned for debt. Beaumont was the youngest of four sons born to Sir Nicholas Beaumont and his wife Ann (Saunders). They were an aristocratic family in the English East Midlands. There were several branches to the Beaumont dynasty and this was the one based at Coleorton in Leicestershire. He was therefore of gentleman status in the formal Elizabethan sense. The family owned coal bearing lands and worked them. Beaumont was involved in this coal working and eventually, in the late 16th century during the reign of Elizabeth I, he began working in his own right in the Nottingham area. During his partnership with Sir Percival Willoughby, Lord of the Wollaton Manor, in 1603-4 he constructed the Wollaton Wagonway. The Wagonway may not be the world's first wagonway with edged rails, but the earliest known specific documentary evidence relates to it, so that it was credited as the world's first. Recent work suggests that a wagonway in Shropshire may be earlier ( King 2010; New 2014).The Wagonway ran from Strelley where he held mining leases to Wollaton Lane. Beaumont can therefore be credited with the title of the \"Great Grandfather of railways\". He had also worked in the Wollaton and Lenton areas previously.Beaumont was a successful finder of coal and an innovator in the development of mining techniques. A key innovation currently attributed to him is the introduction of boring rods to assist in finding coal without sinking a shaft. His working life covered involvement in coal mining activities in Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Northumberland. His coal mining and waggonway activities in the early 17th century near Blyth in Northumberland were, like most of his ventures, unprofitable. However, the boring rod and wagonway technology he took with him was implemented by others to significant effect. The wagonway evolutionary chain he started in the English north east was to later encompass George Stephenson.Beaumont lost several of his family members considerable sums of money and died in Nottingham Gaol in 1624 having been imprisoned for debt. Smith (1957) hypothesised Beaumont's business management decisions were reckless, the losses directly attributable to his mismanagement. New (2014) outlines a different perspective; Beaumont took over the Wollaton coal operation when it was almost worked out (Smith 1989) and facing closure, he applied what were for the time appropriate management actions delaying for 20 years what hindsight identifies was inevitable failure.".
